***PLEASE DO NOT APPLY UNTIL YOU HAVE
COMPLETED THE UPDATED VERSION OF SYS
183 (A/O 7 APR 11) TO AVOID
APPLICATION DISAPPROVAL.*** SYS 283
introduces the student to
architectures and the Department of
Defense Architecture Framework
(DoDAF). We cover the purpose and
goals of architecture from high-level
enterprise architectures such as the
Federal Government down to detailed
solution architectures such as an
individual weapon/information
system. We explain the structure and
content of the DoDAF architecture
tools Federal Government, Department
of Defense and Air Force enterprise
architectures net centricity and
architecture and architecture
evaluation. The course employs
lectures, examples, discussions and
short exercises to illustrate
architecture products and processes.
Due to the rapidly evolution of
architecture practices, policies and
mandates we believe that students who
took SYS 283 over two years ago
consider re-taking the course to
refresh their knowledge on current
requirements. For additional
